CDI’s Certificates are Certificates of Completion for completing a Certificate-Series. Certificates are not offered for completion of a course. As with any development experience, learners in a Certificate-Series develop skills to the extent that the learners actually apply the new knowledge and tools that they glean from the courses.
Certificates-Series are self-paced and must be completed within 60 days from the date of enrollment, unless an extension is granted. Learners can start the courses right away upon enrollment. The courses and the fee are specified in each Certificate-Series. (Organizations can choose to collaborate with CDI to provide their own facilitated cohorts of learners in each Certificate-Series.)
